I'd be glad if they let you make a premade 55; though at this point I have a group of pretty much every class that's 50+ so the only thing really that I'd use it for is to either change race or appearance.

I'd really hate to be a new player without any 70s with the expansion though.. ugh! For them they should just boost the xp curve again.. so you could ding every 15min or something.. get you to 55 in a day or two.
